How It Works
MakeSpec transforms renovation planning into a connected workflow that supports project execution and renovation financing.
Spec-First Engine
Every renovation project begins with structured specifications.
Instead of relying on contractor-defined estimates, MakeSpec guides users through a standardized specification process that organizes renovation scope, materials, and construction work into structured project data.
This standardized specification becomes the foundation for every subsequent step.
AI-Powered Project Execution Plan (PEP)
Once contractor quotations are completed, MakeSpec automatically generates a structured Project Execution Plan using AI.
The PEP defines:
- Project scope
- Construction sequence
- Material allocation
- Labor allocation
- Milestone schedule
- Controlled fund disbursement structure
The Project Execution Plan becomes the operational document shared across borrowers, contractors, and lenders.
AI Verification Workflow
During construction, milestone payment requests are supported through AI-assisted verification.
MakeSpec verifies:
- Receipts
- Materials
- Site photos
- Project progress
This creates a consistent verification workflow before milestone payments are approved.
Connected Workflow
MakeSpec connects every stage of renovation into one standardized workflow.
Specification → Contractor Quotation → AI-generated Project Execution Plan → AI Verification → Controlled Milestone Payments
Rather than managing disconnected documents and manual coordination, all project participants operate from one connected project workflow.
